Just in the evening of that day, the central cabinet issued the edict that Zhao Dongting had put the jade seal on the seal arrived at Li Goudan's home.

Because Li Goudan had only built a small yellow gate in the imperial study room before and had a very low grade, it was impossible for the Li family to be conferred the house on Qian Street.

Over the years, Li Goudan's parents have been restricted by themselves and have not been able to make a fortune.

Therefore, they still rely on the help of Chen Wenlong's home.

When the eunuch who was delivering the order arrived at the Chen family's residence, Chen Wenlong had just returned home from get off work.

Before he could sit down, he saw a servant running in outside and shouted hurriedly: "Master, the imperial decree from the palace has arrived."

This made Chen Wenlong slightly stunned.

Because he himself is a member of the central cabinet, Zhao Dongting rarely passes imperial edicts to his home. Even if he is sympathetic to his family, he is mostly given the imperial edict and reward by the queen Le Chan.

But at this time he didn't bother to think about it and said, "Go and invite your father-in-law in."

Not long after, the eunuchs who were delivering the orders were led into the door by their servants.

Their status is a bit special, but of course it is nothing in front of Chen Wenlong, the deputy state order. When they saw Chen Wenlong, they hurriedly saluted, "Deputy Order Chen..."

Chen Wenlong was extremely familiar with the imperial edict of the court. When he saw that it was the style of the central cabinet, he was even more confused, "A few father-in-laws are..."

The eunuch holding the imperial edict smiled and asked politely: "Director Chen, is Li Zhaoen in the mansion? Our family is here to pass the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor and the central cabinet Lu State Councilor."

Chen Wenlong said in a daze: "Isn't Li Zhaoen in the library?"

The servant next to him said, "Master, Mr. Li Zhaoen has returned."

When Chen Wenlong heard this, he seemed to realize something, and showed joy on his face and said, "Go and let him come and receive the order."

When Zhao Dongting asked Li Goudan to study hard in the library, Chen Wenlong speculated that the emperor should reuse Li Goudan. However, he did not expect that the surprise would come so quickly.

He really values ​​Li Goudan very much, and he treats it completely as his junior.

After the servants left, Chen Wenlong asked the eunuchs to go to the lobby and gave them tea. He couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what official position did the emperor and Lord Lu have granted Li Zhaoen?"

The imperial edict was delivered to home so quickly, and the eunuchs were full of congratulations, so Chen Wenlong could guess that it was a good thing.

If it were someone else, he might not be so concerned. But it was Li Goudan, and he really couldn't help it.

The eunuch sent the order smiled and said, "Our family must first congratulate you, Deputy Chen. Li Zhaoen has made a big splash this time..."

Chen Wenlong was even more happy when he heard this, "Don't be so angry that I will keep you from hiding me."

The eunuch was sent to the decree and said in a low voice: "Previous Order Chen might as well guess first?"

Chen Wenlong thought for a while and said, "Li Zhaoen served in the imperial study for two years, and the emperor praised him. I thought that he should be sent to a department of the State Council and serve as a doctor?"

The eunuch who sent the order shook his head gently, "No."

Chen Wenlong was a little surprised and then became more happy, "Isn't that the minister?"

The eunuch who was sent to the order still shook his head.

Even with Chen Wenlong's temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this moment and said, "My father-in-law, please speak frankly!"

The eunuch passed the imperial eunuch laughed and said, "Li Zhaoen is only waiting for office, and he is only one step away from you."

Chen Wenlong was dumbfounded, "Does the emperor still plan to let him serve as the Minister of the Republic?"

With the current official system of the Song Dynasty, the State Council established one State Councilor under the Ministry of State, two Deputy State Councilors, and below were the Ministers of the Ministry of State Councilors.

The eunuch said that he was only one step away from him, and Chen Wenlong could only think of the official position of Shangshu.

After saying that, he shook his head, "Impossible, impossible. Although Zhaoen is knowledgeable, he is still fifteen years old and cannot take on this important task."

The eunuch sent an order to say leisurely: "But Deputy Chen, don't forget that when the emperor was in charge of the government and saved our Song Dynasty from danger, he was still a few years younger than Li Zhaoen..."

His words were equivalent to admitting that Li Zhaoen was indeed the Minister of State.

Chen Wenlong came to his senses, his face full of surprise, and frowned slightly: "There are no vacancies with the current ministers..."

At this time, Li Goudan also appeared outside the lobby, with his parents following him.

It was probably because Li Goudan had just returned, and the two people who felt so distressed about their son, were really reluctant to leave Li Goudan at this moment.

When he entered the house, Li Goudan fell to his knees.

His parents also quickly fell to their knees.

The eunuch who sent the order stood up and changed into a serious look, saying, "A Jinshi in the 11th year of Xiangxing, Li Zhaoen, the minister of the Ministry of Eunuch, received the order."

Then I opened the imperial edict and recited: "Subordinate to heaven and inherit the fortune... Li Zhaoen, a small yellow sect in the inner eunuch, is of great talent. Although he is young, he is a scholar and a model for scholars in the world... I set up a special Ministry of Science and Technology and named Li Zhaoen as the Minister of Science and Technology. He was the second-rank official and also gave him a set of official residences on the street. His mother was good at teaching children and was awarded the fourth-rank imperial wife..."

After reading, he saw Li Goudan's family kneeling on the ground in a daze. The eunuch passed the order and smiled and said, "Li Zhaoen, why don't you accept the order?"

Li Goudan came to his senses, quickly took the imperial edict with both hands, kowtowed and said, "My dear Li Zhaoen, thank the emperor, long live my emperor!"

The eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch also changed his name at this moment and said, "Shangshu Li, you will be the Minister of Science and Technology in the future. Don't let the emperor down."

After all, he was also a high eunuch who entered the Ministry of Eunuchs and was much older, so it would not be an exaggeration to say such things.

Li Goudan nodded vigorously.

The eunuch looked back at Chen Wenlong and bowed, "Deputy Order Chen, our family is rushing back to the palace to report their duties, so we won't bother you."

Chen Wenlong didn't respond.

The eunuch also knew that he was shocked and did not take it to his heart. He smiled and took the people out of the house.

Li Goudan stood up from the ground and knelt down for Chen Wenlong again: "Grandpa Chen."

In the years since he arrived in Changsha, he had been caring for Chen Wenlong, and he remembered all these kindnesses in his heart.

Chen Wenlong came to his senses and helped Li Zhaoen up and said, "What are you doing with me like this?"

Then he looked a little complicated and said, "You are the Minister of the House now."

Li Goudan said: "Although Zhaoen is the Minister of State, Grandpa Chen, you are still Zhaoen's grandfather!"

When Chen Wenlong heard this, his face was filled with relief.

Li Goudan's parents finally came to their senses and stood up from the ground in a daze.

His father asked Li Goudan: "Goudan, what kind of official is the Minister of Science and Technology? But he is as big as the Minister of Personnel?"

His understanding of the imperial system was afraid that he still stayed in the past era, and he only knew six departments: craftsmanship, officials, rituals, households, soldiers, and punishments.

Before Li Goudan could speak, Chen Wenlong was already laughing and crying next to him, saying, "Mr. Li, don't call Zhaoen's nickname in front of outsiders anymore. He is now the Minister of the court. If you call him like this in front of outsiders, you will be laughed at."

He then explained: "The Minister of Science and Technology is the same size as the Minister of Personnel."

Li Goudan's father's eyes were wide open and he was confused again, "My Goudan... is the Shangshu?"

He probably never had such a dream in his life. Li Goudan's success in the Jinshi was enough to make this simple man who was facing the loess and facing the sky overjoyed.

Perhaps if you can see Li Goudan as a county magistrate in this life, he can feel that it is the smoke coming from the ancestral tomb.

How much rank is the Shangshu greater than the county magistrate?

He doesn't know.

He only knows that it's a lot bigger anyway.

In the past, he thought that the county magistrate was Master Tian, ​​but now, his son is Master Tian who is much taller than Master Tian.

In fact, not to mention him, Li Goudan was named Shangshu at the age of fifteen. Just when this matter spreads, the entire Song Dynasty would be shocked.

Li Goudan's mother also looked in disbelief, and then she burst into tears.

Li Goudan wiped his mother's tears and said, "Mom, Goudan is now an official, why are you still crying? You are also the emperor's wife!"

His mother just hugged him and muttered: "My son is promising, my son is promising..."

She was illiterate and had never taught Li Goudan knowledge. She only taught Li Goudan to be a person with every detail. She never thought that Li Goudan would have such a great future.

As for the fact that she was named the Lady of the Imperial Palace, she did not feel at all before the news that Li Goudan was named the Minister of Shang.

Even more likely, she may not even understand what the decree wife is.

Chen Wenlong watched this scene from the side, just smiled, and felt a little envious.

Not to mention Li Goudan's knowledge, in fact, this pure conscience is the most rare.

For example, the younger generations of the Chen family can even ask famous teachers to teach their knowledge, but they have to face far more temptations than Li Goudan when dealing with people.

In the end, even if you can maintain your conscience, it will be difficult to have a innocent heart like Li Goudan.
